Don't stroke it too hard. 25%+ of Delta's 220 fleet are grounded for engine and other problems and any given time. Deliveries are delayed upon delayed due to supply chain issues. Parts are impossible to get. I've heard JetBlue and Breeze have similar or worse problems without the engineering department and 400lb gorilla Delta has on Airbus's back. The plane looks cool but has an abysmal dispatchability rate. Very glitchy and maintenance intensive. It's not your white knight, it's an albatross. This jet was designed to fly 4+ hours per cycle. The way SWA operates, these things would be a disaster pounding the ground 10 times a day.
